– If you’ve ever wanted to learn how to play the piano, now’s your chance. An app called Playground Sessions offered free lessons on the song “You Raise Me Up” for 30 days, and over 7,000 people from 52 countries took part in the world’s biggest virtual piano recital, reports Reuters. “It gave everybody something to focus on during the pandemic that was totally removed from the pandemic,” says Len Dozois, a retired manufacturing management worker from Georgia who took part in the class. “Learning something new is always good, but in this instance it was phenomenal.”
